Build Series: V1
UBC eProjects Coworking Sessions ☕️
Bi-Weekly Meetup for Builders
UBC eProjects members only
Join us every two weeks for focused coworking sessions designed for student entrepreneurs and builders actively working on projects. Hosted by Josh at rotating coffee shops across Vancouver.
This Week's Mentor
Pranav Vinod - VC Analyst at Good News Ventures & Portfolio Management Associate at Front Row Ventures
Pranav brings a unique perspective from both sides of the table - as a VC evaluating startups and as someone deeply embedded in Vancouver's startup ecosystem. Creator of the YVR IRL newsletter (500+ subscribers) and author of the Vancouver Startup Guide, he can help with fundraising strategy, pitch deck feedback, understanding what investors look for, and navigating Vancouver's startup scene. Perfect for founders thinking about raising or wanting to understand the investor mindset.
What to Expect
Featured Mentor (30 min) Each session brings a different mentor from Vancouver's startup ecosystem to share practical insights, answer questions, and provide one-on-one guidance during work time.
Focused Work Time (75 min) Work alongside 10-15 fellow builders. Get unstuck with real-time help from mentors and peers. This isn't passive coworking – it's active collaboration with people who get it.
Community & Progress (45 min) Quick intros, progress shares, and group problem-solving. Build connections with other UBC entrepreneurs working on real projects.
